Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente Charcoal Ballpoint Pen

Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente Charcoal Ballpoint Pen

CALLIGRAPHY WITH A CONSCIENCE The Montegrappa Elmo Ambiente Charcoal Ballpoint Pen is made from recycled materials to reinvent one of their most iconic models.  Montegrappa’s Elmo Ambiente remakes a model designed in the 1920s by applying 2020s thinking. Montegrappa has never made a disposable pen, on the contrary, its products are made to last for generations.  But its latest release considers the lifecycle of raw materials beyond the product.  The Elmo Ambiente has been carved from recycled resin, and represents the company’s first foray into artisanal plastics.  Production of the new model commences as the company’s workforce recovers from the anguish of recent months. To create the Elmo Ambiente, Montegrappa has collaborated with Smile Plastics, a studio specialising in innovative architectural surfaces – whose client list includes many of the leading names in conscious design and fashion. Two colour ways are being made using a resin made from recycled packaging.  “Ocean” celebrates marine beauty, while “Charcoal” is a wistful alternative to the anonymity of black-body writing instruments.  Each features a translucency that offers a view onto the pen’s internal mechanisms and a reflection on its origins.
